British teenagers Wayne Ryan and Kyle Ryde will wildcard at the Silverstone MotoGP Moto3 round and join fellow Racing Steps Foundation man John McPhee on the grid.

The Silverstone entries come on the back of strong rides by the KRP duo in Spain's Dorna-run CEV Repsol Moto3 Championship and selected rounds in the rival Italian CIV series.

Ryan secured his first win of the season at the opening CIV round in Mugello in April and followed up with a win and fastest lap in the CEV season-opener at Catalunya a fortnight later. The New Romney teenager currently lies fourth in the rider standings in the Spanish series.

Team-mate and CEV Moto3 rookie Kyle Ryde signalled his potential in the series with an impressive ride to third place in the second race at the opening round. The Nottinghamshire rider is 14th in the championship.

The pair's on-track rivalry dates back to the 2011 British 125GP Championship in which Ryde beat Ryan to the title by two points with third place to Ryan's win at the final round at Brands Hatch. The KRP riders will compete on KRP's Honda-powered M3-02 chassis.

"I can't thank everyone involved in fixing up the wildcards for us enough," said Ryan. "To race at my home Grand Prix is a fantastic opportunity to show what I'm capable of. But I'm under no illusions as to how difficult that's going to be.

"There'll be so many top-class riders out there with a lot more experience than me and, in a lot of cases, a big power advantage. But we've got a sweet-handling chassis and I'm well up for it. So hopefully I'll produce a ride that justifies the belief that people have in me."

Ryde - who celebrated his 16th birthday on the same day his Silverstone wildcard was announced - welcomed the news as "the best birthday present anyone could have given me".

"It's up to me now to show I'm worth it," the Jacksdale teenager said.
